You must eat nutritious food,” he said, making her look into his eyes.Her heart beat uncontrollably when she saw him smiling gently at her.

He ate wild berries from the forest," said Eric before Lucian had time to open his mouth to ask him.The doctor furrowed his brows while nodding a little to himself. Then he looked into Lucian's eyes. "Those berries are poisonous. That's why he got sick." Lucian, Violet, and Eric turned to Oliver with worried look upon hearing what the doctor said."I told you not to eat it and you're still eating it!" Eric scolded Oliver.
